My Spirit Cannot Be Bridled

My spirit cannot be bridled
   For it is as wild as fire -
As innocent as a child
   And in secrecy, has desires.

My body cannot contain it -
   No, because of how strong I am -
All that my spirit resonates
   Could fill an entire room.

I may die and not be missed;
   Lest people forget with one accord
That I left behind good remnants -
   I will come and haunt that void.
